Why You Need Data Warehouse Automation

for Your Business Intelligence Project

Data Warehouse Automation delivers on the promise of fast delivery of information for your Business Intelligence project. Today’s business cannot afford to wait weeks, months or even years to get the lifeblood information it needs to make better decisions. When it comes to Business Intelligence, your biggest challenges are:- • Creating more business value • Lowering your costs • Empowering your users with self-serve reporting • Delivering information anywhere, anytime • Reducing complexity Data Warehouse Automation tools like Attunity Compose and Ajilius are enablers. They enable and support your ability to execute and deliver on the above challenges. The acquisition of a Data Warehouse Automation tool should be seen as an enormous cost-saving since it rapidly pays itself back. Data Warehouse Automation automates your Business Intelligence projects so quickly, completely and efficiently, that the time and money savings are soon obvious. But it’s horses for courses. Depending on your business needs and preferences, you can choos between two Data Warehouse Automation products offered by BIReady Australia. • Attunity Compose • Ajilius Each has their own unique set of benefits.

Attunity Compose

Attunity Compose does the following:- • Automatically analyses your data sources to reverse- engineer your business data model. • Automatically designs and forward-engineers a Third Normal Form or Data Vault Enterprise Data Warehouse model. • Generates all the ETL code to populate your new Enterprise Data Warehouse model (for most popular SQL databases). • Takes you through a wizard process to automate the design and building of your star-schema data marts for reporting and analysis Unlike other Data Warehouse Automation tools, Attunity Compose delivers completely by automating the design and building of Third Normal Form (Inmon), Data Vault (Linstedt) Enterprise Data Warehouses as well as Star Schema (Kimball) data marts. Most other tools only deliver the latter, leaving you with a complex ‘bit-in-the-middle’ that you still have to design, build and manage yourself.

Ajilius

Ajilius focuses on Kimball (star-schema) data warehouses with the following benefits:- • Low-cost of ownership • Builds data warehouses on SQL Server or Azure as well as other, low/zero cost open-source databases • Intuitive web-based interface • Designed to work in the Cloud, but can also work on- premises. Either product will save you time and money in the development of your data warehouse. Even if you have an existing data warehouse, you can use Data Warehouse Automation to create new star-schema data marts from your existing warehouse, or augment your current data warehouse with data from newly-added data sources.
